Once again, arrived in "Rich text", rfe-format to "Plain" for less paper to print
and less Kb to send and receive. Most amusing but true.

---Original Message----- Just a Regular Guy

I used to think I was a regular person, but I was born white, which now, whether I
like it or not, makes me a racist & responsible for slavery.
I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist
because I plan & support myself.
I went to High School, worked through college, got a degree & have held a job.
I am not here because I earned it, but because I was advantaged.
I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe.
I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class & ally of big business.
I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.
I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which makes me a member of the vast NRA gun lobby.
I am older than 65 & retired, making me a useless old man who doesn't understand
Facebook.
I think & I reason, so I doubt what main stream media tells me, which must make me
a reactionary.
I am proud of my heritage & our inclusive American culture, making me a xenophobe.
I value my safety & that of my family, & I appreciate the police & the legal system,
making me a right-wing, cop loving extremist.
I believe in hard work, fair play, & fair compensation according to each individual's
merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.
I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or
subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath.
I believe in the defense & protection of America for & by all citizens, now making
me a militant.
I am proud of our flag, what it stands for, & the many who died to let it fly, so I
stand & salute during our National Anthem, taking me back where I started - I must be a racist.
Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not sure who i am
anymore!
I thank my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, newfound changes to
my thinking! I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly! Funny -
it all took place over the last 7 or 8 years! If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with,
now I don't even know which restroom to use, & I gotta go..........FREQUENTLY!!!
